Another Richard Prince bag, another opportunity for me to blog about Prince’s Nurse fetish!

We’re excited to have an authentic Richard Prince for Louis Vuitton Mancrazy bag. “Mancrazy”, you might ask yourself. “what a strange name. I wonder how he came up with that one?” Well, that’s why I’m here

OK… again, Richard Prince is into somewhat rauchy (OK… at least to me, “adult” at least) Naughty Nurse pulp fiction. (Read all about it on my last blog on the subject.)

So in 1963, Peggy Gaddis came out with the book, “Man-Crazy Nurse”. Peggy also wrote under the name Peggy Dern. I haven’t found the paperback that inspired the pose of the nurse on RP’s versions. (If you find it, please let me know!)

Richard Prince was obviously inspired by this one in particular, because he painted three versions of it…

(Richard Prince’s Man-Crazy Nurse #1)

(Richard Prince’s Man-Crazy Nurse #2)

(Richard Prince’s Man-Crazy Nurse #3)

I think he got better with each version.

He obviously, also named the fab Limited Edition Louis Vuitton Mancrazy pictured above after this book. I love, love, love how the colors in his paintings- warm reds and oranges, translate on the bag. But does this also work on the arm?

Yikes, Toni Damli Aaberge… simmer down, girl! You’re looking too hot to handle! I totally LOVE this look and the Mancrazy makes it!
